Well tomorrow is the day. I will be out at the farm in the afternoon for lessons and so I plan to go out a few hours early to see how Tsula does with no leash on. So far she has been good on her collar but sometimes timid. If she thinks she made a mistake she tries to hide. Of course it is not the goal to scare her so we are doing a lot of positive reinforcement and encouraging her to be confident that she knows her commands. She loves the praise she gets so I am sure this will not be a chronic problem. Just a little hiccup. The vibration mode of her collar seems to give her the wiggins more than the static shock so I think some of her reaction is simply because she is ticklish. I think she will enjoy tomorrow. I plan to take her friend Kylie out there to help show her the ropes and help her learn the boundaries at the farm. Some wide open spaces are sure to bring out the herding dog in her!
